Management Rights generally include decisions governing the working environment, including supervising the workforce, controlling production, setting work rules and procedures, assigning duties, and using plant and equipment. Management generally believes that if it is to operate efficiently, it must have control over all decision-making factors of the business. Management usually contends that any union involvement in the area is an intrusion on its inherent right to manage. Union advocates respond that where the right to mange involves wages, hours, or working conditions, labor has a legal interest under federal law.
Reserved Rights theory generally contends that management retains all rights except those it has expressly agreed to share with or relinquish to the union. Management, under the reserved rights concept, does not review the agreement to determine which rights ti has gained but instead reviews the agreement to ascertain which rights it has conceded to labor. All rights remaining reside with management.
